Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, the first female district attorney in Fulton County's history, made headlines all year for her bold actions. She rose to prominence by charging 19 co-defendants, including former President Donald Trump, in a high-profile case related to efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Willis has a history of successfully pursuing conspiracy and racketeering charges, using the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) to secure convictions. Willis campaigned on a promise to restore integrity to the DA's office after ousting a six-term incumbent and has been working toward just that. In addition to the election subversion case, she has taken on other high-profile cases, including anti-corruption indictments against celebrities. Willis' determination and unconventional methods have solidified her reputation as a relentless prosecutor who prioritizes justice above all else.
